Belgorod. white City
In our country there are many beautiful cities : provincial, spa, large cities with the crazy pace of life . But I want to tell you about the city of Belgorod, a city with its own history, its architecture, its face . In this beautiful city you can, relax, learn, work and enjoy life in general .
Belgorod - the administrative center of Belgorod Oblast. Located on the southern edge of the Central Russian Upland, on the slopes of the White Mountains, on the right bank of the Seversky Donets River in the floodplain of its tributaries - the river Vezelka . White Mountains gave it a name.
Based on archaeological research conducted in 1951 in Belgorod, Academician BA Rybakov argues that the mound on which stands the modern Belgorod, appeared in the X century. When you come to Belgorod on the train, you will be greeted on the platform of the song " White City " :
White, white, white, white city
He is the heart and soul is always young .
Belgorod. Day of the first salute
For all that is holy Russia minute .
In these lines reflects the city's history . Where to begin to explore the city, well, of course, with attractions, museums, galleries, exhibition halls - it is here that you will talk about his past and present.
Modern monuments in Belgorod also surprise you with its uniqueness : a monument to the janitor and his companion, a cat, grandmother, knitting stockings, girl blows out air bubbles , " incorruptible policeman " Paul Grechikhin ; shuttles monument, a monument to Russian language ...Away - a monument - a giant egg. At night it is illuminated alternately with all the colors of the rainbow.
<span>The city has recently been built fountains, and now it's favorite vacation spots for locals and visitors . Other recreation remains a favorite park them. Lenin ( rides for children ) , the Zoo, Victory Park .</span>
<span><span>Television in our lives
</span><span>It is common knowledge that television has become the most popular entertainment in our home life. Now fewer and fewer people go out in the evening, preferring to stay at home and enjoy themselves sitting in comfortable armchairs in front of TV-screens and watching either “live” TV or films on video.
In Russia people can choose among lots of channels. Some of them are commercial: they are Discovery, Travel Channel or CNN in English. The others, such as Russia 1, belong to the federal government. A great number of central channels make their viewers watch advertisements, as the main part of the money they get, comes from advertising. So between and during programmes we have to watch advertisements for chewing-gum, soap, washing-machines, detergents and many other items we do not require at the moment.
There is a special channel broadcasting lots of sports events such as championships, competitions, races, games and interviews with sportsmen and sportswomen. There are also several channels transmitting regional programmes and news and a channel “Culture”, composed of cultural programmes.
As a rule, adults prefer to watch news. This is broadcast, shown at regular intervals at the main channels and both national and international current events are discussed at panel discussions. As for programmes for children, on Russian TV we have a special channel, called “Сarousel”, where educational programmes, animated cartoons and films are on all through the day. Needless to say, that a large part of TV time is occupied by serials which are shown by almost every channel and are often criticized for their poor quality.
<span>
Of course, we can call some TV programmes really informative and entertaining. Among them there are “KVN”, “What? Where? When”, “Romanticism of Romance” and others. But at the same time a large part of TV shows and films produces a negative effect on spectators, especially on teenagers, who like to spend a lot of time in front TV. Scenes of violence and crime presented in thrillers, horror and detective films mostly of foreign production can inflict damage on a child’s mind, and we should never forget about it.</span></span></span>

У нас был пикник с футбольной командой "Castle Hill School". Я сидел за столом для пикника, когда кто-то позвонил мне и сказал "Привет, Макс". Это я Дэвид Трейнор . Мы ходили в ту же школу. Он переехал в другой дом и изменил школу год назад. Мы наблюдали футбольную практику других мальчиков, когда он начал говорить. Он сказал что он чувствовал себя одиноким, потому-что не мог завести новых друзей в школе. Потом он рассказал мне о своем новом доме, его интересов...
Забавно, мы едва знали друг друга тогда, но было что-то о нем я доверял. Теперь мы лучшие друзья.
